Commentry
Right then, that's all from this game! England Legends open their account in the Road Safety World Series while Bangladesh lose their second game in a row. On Monday, 8th March 2021, we have South Africa Legends going up against Sri Lanka Legends. That match will begin at 1900 local (1330 GMT). Till then, cheers and take care.
Kevin Pietersen, the England skipper and the MAN OF THE MATCH, says the wicket is great, jokes they should have made one like this in Ahmedabad and they would have had a 5-day Test. States the bowlers were good and everyone did their job. Mentions playing this tournament is really good and it is a privilege to play this one.
Nafees Iqbal, the Bangladesh Vice-Captain, says they are losing too many wickets at the early stage and they need to give their bowlers a good total to defend. Mentions the top batters need to click. States the English bowlers were very good and they were the better team. Adds they need to improve their batting and fielding.
Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony!
The Bangladesh pacers started off poorly, they needed them to strike early but they leaked a lot of runs. The spinners though did a good job when they came on. Especially Rafique and Razzak. The former got a couple of wickets and the latter managed to keep it tight. However, they had far too many less runs on the board.
A thumping win then for England! It was their bowlers who set it up for them by restricting Bangladesh to a low score. Their batters then did their job with the skipper leading the way. Pietersen was the mainstay with the bat and the rest who got an opportunity did their job too.
